This feasibility study considers three options, which were put forward by TfL, appraising the different variations within the options and this report provides the following deliverables for each option: Concept designs including any structural solution options; Structural design programme; Buildability risks and issues; Phasing of the works and buildability programme; Temporary works including traffic management; Recommendations In the absence of detailed costing for each of the options, together with the fact that traffic surveys and modelling have not been carried out, it is not possible to selected a preferred option for the scheme. Section 6.7 of this report discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each option. This discussion, together with cost analysis and traffic modelling will allow a reasoned comparison of the various options to be made, and will allow a preferred option to be selected. It is recommended that the additional required information discussed above, together with other recommendations discussed in section 9, is carried out in advance of the detailed design phase. Atkins Version 1.0 | 18 December 2013 Options/Feasibility Study for the A23/A232 Fiveways Scheme 1. Introduction 1.1. Client Brief Atkins has been commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to undertake the feasibility study for the A23/A232 Fiveways scheme in accordance with its brief included in Tender Ref: tfl_scp_000027_task_24_co057. 1.2. Aims of the Study As stated in the client brief, the objective of the feasibility study is to consider three options, which were put forward by TfL, appraising the different variations within the options. This report provides the following deliverables for each option: Concept designs including any structural solution options; Structural design programme; Buildability risks and issues; Phasing of the works and buildability programme; Temporary works including traffic management; Recommendations 1.3. Background Fiveways junction in Croydon is a signalised junction between a number of roads – the A23 Purley Way to the north and south, the A232 Stafford Road to the north east, the B275 Denning Avenue to the east and the B271 Stafford Road to the south west. The junction is over-capacity, and traffic regularly builds up in the vicinity of the junction. The objective of the options proposed for this feasibility study is to alleviate the traffic feeding into the Fiveways junction. 1.4. Proposed Options The issues at Fiveways junction have been under investigation for some time, and TfL have developed two options to undertake feasibility and to undertake an analysis of the benefits of each option. The options considered are as follows: 1.4.1. Option 1 (and 1A): Elevated Link Road (ELR) connecting A232 Croydon Road and A232 Duppas Hill Road These options would keep both east and west-bound traffic on the A232 away from the Fiveways junction and any parallel running on the A23. The elevated section will run over the railways line and also cross the existing junction between the A232 Duppas Hill Road and the A232 Stafford Road. Option 1 takes the most direct route linking the A232, whereas The alignments for these options will be evaluated. The ELR will include a multi-span bridge. TfL has expressed aspirations to utilise, where appropriate, the spaces below the proposed bridge spans for commercial or private use purposes. Alternative structural solutions will be considered and the advantages and disadvantages of their attributes in the context of this feasibility study will be discussed. Atkins Version 1.0 | 18 December 2013 Options/Feasibility Study for the A23/A232 Fiveways Scheme 1.4.2. Option 2: Waddon Bridge replacement and widening of Epsom Road for two-way traffic This option proposes to replace the existing Waddon Station Bridge over the railway with a new replacement wider bridge. This is intended to provide more carriageway lanes and allow more traffic capacity on this short critical link where it carries both A23 and A232 traffic. Epsom Road is also proposed to be widened to allow a new two-way operation. This removes the need for Eastbound A232 traffic to use the Fiveways junction. Atkins Version 1.0 | 18 December 2013 Options/Feasibility Study for the A23/A232 Fiveways Scheme 2. Existing Information 2.1. Location Fiveways junction in Croydon is a junction between a number of roads – the A23 Purley Way to the north and south, the A232 Stafford Road to the north east, the B275 Denning Avenue to the east and the B271 Stafford Road to the south west. Fiveways Junction Figure 2-1 Location Plan 2.2. Road Layout The A23 road runs north-south providing a link between the M25/M23 and Kennington Park/Oval. The A23 passes to the west of Croydon, adjacent to Waddon Railway Station.

  • Travel from the UK
    Travel from the UK The University of Sussex campus is well served by public transport with Falmer train station on the south side of campus, and frequent buses on campus to and from Brighton. The adjoining A27 also gives good access by car. Train Falmer train station is directly opposite the University campus. Pedestrian access is through a subway under the A27 - follow signs for the University of Sussex (the University of Brighton has a campus at Falmer too). Falmer is on the line between Brighton and Lewes, about eight minutes' travel time in each direction. Four trains an hour go there during the day time. Visitors travelling via London and the west should take a train to Brighton and change there for Falmer. The journey time from London to Brighton is just under an hour. You can also change at Lewes for Falmer, if you are coming from the east. Falmer station National Rail Enquiries Coach National Express Coaches to Brighton depart from London Victoria Coach Station and arrive at Pool Valley in the centre of the city. Services are every hour during the day and take about two hours. Coaches also run to Brighton from Gatwick and Heathrow. From Pool Valley you need to walk 100 metres to the Old Steine where you can catch a bus direct to the University (see Local buses section below), or you can take a taxi. National Express Coaches Taxi Taxis are available at both Brighton and Lewes train stations and at many places in the centre of Brighton. It is about four miles (six kilometres) from central Brighton to the University.

Acknowledgements Seldom is it possible to produce a publication such as this without the input of a team of volunteers, backed by organisations sympathetic to the subject-matter, and this report is no exception. The records which form the basis for this work were made by the dedicated fieldwork of the members of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society (SBRS), The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI), the British Bryological Society (BBS), The British Lichen Society (BLS) and other keen enthusiasts. This data is held by the nominated County Recorders. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) compiled the tables of the Sussex rare Bryophytes and Lichens. It is important to note that the many contributors to the text gave their time freely and with generosity to ensure this work was completed within a tight timescale. Many of the contributions were typed by Rita Hemsley. Special thanks must go to Alan Knapp for compiling and formatting all the computerised text.
